Expires p i _ „ m ■ On u . Day . He . devils to pay! Planned His Visit 1 Such was m y re-action after reading an article re- cen tly in Life which indicated that the flying saucers of the past few’ years may be in reality visitors from another planet. Now it isn’t the fact that there may be living creatures within those aerial vehicles that causes me to I k * alarmed. Neither am I particularly turious as to why they come so near and still don’t stop and “ set awhile.” No, what wor ries me is that Congress is likely to do if its members ever read that article. As all of us are well aware, taxes have skyrocketed since the close of World W ar 2, and no one has been inclined to complain much because Congress explained that we were being armed against a possible enemy in vasion. As the taxes hurdled even higher, we were in formed that Congress needed the money to arm and /eed most of the rest of the world so that these people would be on our side, come hositilities. And now in the year of 1953 ^le j°b practically completed and congress running out of countries to feed and arm, what happens? Why, nothing that Life, to tally unaware of the part it was playing in our economic destinies, reveals that there is strong possibility th.it Hying sauces are piloted by hot rods of another planet. So off will go our taxes into the bright blue younder as Congress will undertake to move us underground to escape a potential Planet X and at the same time will take on the task of feeding and arming Venus, Saturn and Mars to keep them on our side. My only hope is that the members of the Congress ^are so busy at the present time investigating each other that they won’t find the necessary time to read Lijc.
